As in the title just got a bike up and running and could do with trying a longer stem. Currently got a 50mm on so above that would be good.

If anyone can lend me one to try it would be much appreciated.
I’ll cover postage costs obviously

I put a Wanted ad up for the same not so long ago - they're like rocking horse poop these days.

Managed to find one on Ebay by chance, but there was precious little else around.

Let me check in the box tonight.

If I've still got it you're welcome to have it.

I've changed mine out for a shorter thompson stem.
I have machined a 1 1/8" out to 1 1/4", not difficult, but need to check that there's sufficient metal in the thing first.

There are loads in different sizes on ebay. I bought one recently for a retro cannondale build that has 1 1/4 aheadset Pepperonis 🙂
